stamped and colored in and then layered on to coordinating colored cardstock.
Read on to see how it was made.

Homemade Castle invitation

Supplies

Princess stamp of your choice, the one I used is Inkadinkadoo

Black stamping ink

Dark pink cardstock

Light pink cardstock

Silver cardstock

White cardstock

Pink markers (2 different shades)

Glitter gel pen (silver, pink or clear)

Computer & printer

Paper trimmer

Glue

Directions

To start, you will want to format all your wording on the computer. You
will be printing it onto 4x6" card so make sure that it fits within these
dimensions- leave space for the stamped image.

Cut your white cardstock into 4 x 6 inches. Then print all the wording
onto the white cardstock (this will be trial and error, don’t worry if you
mess up a few times).

You can now stamp your image onto the white cardstock as well. You will
want to let this dry for a couple hours before you color it so that the
markers don’t smudge the outline. I used black ink for the castle image and
colored it with dark pink and lighter pink markers.

I then filled in some spaces with the silver glitter pen just to give it
some “bling” to tie in the silver cardstock (you will want to let the card
dry again after this step).

Now that we are finished the top card layer, next is the light pink
layer. That is cut to 4 ½ x 6 ½ inches. The silver was cut to 4 5/8 x 6 5/8
inches, and the dark pink was cut to 5 x 7 inches. After all the cutting you
will need to glue everything together.

Then you are done! These take a long time to complete because you have
to color everything in and let it dry etc…but they are worth it in the end

The Castle Drawbridge

Now this special drawbridge invitation has the castles all drawn and cut by hand.
Patterned scrapbooking paper is used for a splash of color in the windows, the
drawbridge and turrets.

A photo turn is used to hold the draw bridge up and when the drawbridge opens,
it reveals the birthday party details. This design is copyright to the
designer, you may use it for personal use only.
